Frank smiled his smile with a hint of artificial sweetness. “Lady Selby, you honor me with this invitation”, he replied as he gave a small bow to the hostess like the gentleman of yore might have given once upon a time. He did not offer his hand to her yet and let her do the talking, and decided to speak only when spoken to. Since he was a boy he had been trained to watch for the signs of deceit, and he did his best to make sure that he would remain undetectable and with the suave movements of an actor as he had charmed his way into prominent homes with his well placed lies and his web of illusions for his victims to fall for and render them under his spell.
Frank was certain he would find a well-off mark in this small circle of wealthy people, especially in this lavish home, amongst the finery of this lady. His sister had chosen the new area for their newest ploy. The young man relished the end payout, but he most enjoyed the beginning of this game of his, and he had always had a knack for storytelling when weaving his web of deceit. It could be a challenge, he decided as he integrated and ingratiated himself with the elite of this community. Ever careful not to reveal too much, lest the mask fall before his performance even started.
